Traditional Chinese New Year begins from the first day of the lunar calendar and ends on the 15th. During Chinese New Year, chinese have the culture of having all things new. They buy new clothes, do house cleaning, cook delicious food, visit relatives and friends. It’s a celebration of sending away the old year. Chinese calligraphy with best wishes are used on packaging design, home decoration and red envelop design.
